AP Interview: Romania's president vows not to 'abandon' Iraq, won't withdraw troops
Romania has no intentions of withdrawing its troops from the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq, President Traian Basescu said Saturday, vowing to stay "because it's a dishonor to leave your allies."
In an interview with The Associated Press, Basescu said he empathized with mounting calls to withdraw the country's 608 non-combat personnel in Iraq, including impassioned pleas from the families of those serving.
But "Romania's honor is greater than its feelings," he said.
"An exit strategy is a matter of concern for us, and we are building it with our main allies, the U.S. and the U.K. But the states that form the coalition cannot abandon Iraq as it is now," he said after addressing reporters at a presidential retreat about 60 miles northeast of Bucharest.

People who have lived under the heel of Communism have their heads on straight.
So- - - - send Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Hillary Clinton, John Murtha, all the Clinton judicial appointees and Cindy Sheehan to North Korea for ten years (not as diplomats or politicians but as peasants) .
They will get their heads straightened, if they live to return.
"Serbia for fighting islam for past 15 years gets crap from USA. "
Good point. Clinton had the US enter the war on the wrong side on that one. Did the President of Serbia ever talk to President Bush?
I dont think so.
All we got from usa are George Soros and frank Wisner, who just said that "Solution for Kosovo is to be as majority populace wish" Majority populace are drug-smuggling, white slave traffiking muslim Albanians.
To make things worst, Donald Rumsfeld rushed to Montenegro (population 400,000, not even half milion) to ask for support for WOT and to support montenegro. he didnt bothered to show in Serbia.
And than people ask how dhimmicrates won the elections...
Good news. Always nice to see some guts and character.
They understand what it is to be oppressed.
Our liberals do not see that the radical Muzzies want to do that to us.
Thank you, Romania
